Inventions: the harpsichord across time and borders
Inventions is a fascinating trans-national project to promote and present unusual music for solo harpsichord, drawing primarily on historical and contemporary music by female composers from Scotland, Ireland and England. Three beautiful new commissions are set alongside historical works, making links between different countries and centuries, and performed by Katarzyna Kowalik, a creative and skilled performer of both historical and contemporary keyboard music.

Fretwork and Alexander Chance: Orlando Gibbons at 400
Orlando Gibbons, whose refined and deeply expressive works represent the pinnacle of Jacobean music, died on 5th June 1625 at the young age of 41, while travelling to Canterbury with the Chapel Royal to receive Charles I’s bride, Henrietta Maria. His untimely death was mourned across English culture, and we mark the anniversary with the first of two concerts given in Durham in 2025 by legendary viol consort Fretwork.
